Hot topics in DNA repair: the molecular basis for different disease states caused by mutations in TFIIH and XPG.

Abstract excerpt

Alterations in genes involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) are associated with three genetic disorders, xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome (CS) and trichothiodystrophy (TTD). The transcription and repair factor TFIIH is a central component of NER and mutations of its subunits are associated with all three diseases. A recent report provides a molecular basis for how mutations in the NER...
